    What do you mean? Codex paid plan treats me quite well. I'm not going to complain that free users get more shit, especially when it doesn't affect me in any way.

    It's insane that after four years of these tools being ubiquitous people still defer to them for their own critical thinking

    Why post AI-generated answers? Anyone reading your comment could do the same.

    I feel like thats impossible - in the end the reason we have those useless roles is to have someone to shift the blame to

    Didn't this slightly contradict itself? The conclusion I drew based on the problem statement was that the best way was to have a model router handle the root prompt and stick to a …

    Nice! If you could plug in a controller and use a TUI I would 100% use this - Mixxx is great but sometimes I don't want to install another desktop app

    If you want to optimise and have the money to spare, I think it's fine. There are going to be people in the world that are better than you at most given tasks, and if working on th…

    Side note, why not just deploy onto a VPS and save the money from using hosted services, as well as protecting yourself from when they inevitably go down? The CBA clearly shows tha…

    Yeah, intuitively the request floor instead of up-down paradigm always seemed inefficient. However, if the issue is that it forces a single elevator and doesn't allow reoptimisatio…

    I went down a five hour rabbit hole learning about jwz as a result of this post. What an interesting guy - if I knew about the DNA lounge a week earlier, I would have visited when …

    That's not true. AI was widely used to refer to the decision systems and state machines that produced NPC behaviour in video games, and I'm sure many other things than just science…

    This reinforces my point. Even where they "qualify" their statement, they still reduce their mindset to a homogeneous "I like Puzzle "

    I've been bikeshedding for the last year or two looking for a good solution to save interesting pages to a similar knowledge archive... I've settled for bookmarks, but I don't know…

    It's a reference to TFA :) from your very link: > ad hominem, type of argument or attack that appeals to prejudice or feelings or irrelevantly impugns another person’s character in…

    It wholly does not. It in no way qualifies the statement that people who use tools with "more friction" (the unsound assumption under attack) because they view it as a puzzle game …

    > I think the reason these types of discussions never die is because people in general tend towards closed mindedness. It's hard to put yourself in other people's shoes, and even h…
